With the growing buzz around pelvic floor therapy, it is essential to do your homework when looking for your pelvic floor physical therapist. Here are some key questions to ask when selecting a clinic:

• Have your Doctors of Physical Therapy been trained in internal examination and treatment of the pelvic floor?
• Will my Doctor of Physical Therapy utilize internal treatment techniques if necessary for my condition? 
• If I have bowel symptoms, do your Doctors of Physical Therapy have training in rectal examination?
• How much one-on-one time will I get with my Doctor of Physical Therapy?
• Will I see the same Doctor of Physical Therapy on every visit?
• Will I ever have to work with a technician during my sessions instead of with the Doctor of Physical Therapy?
• What does a typical treatment plan for my condition look like?
• Can your Doctors of Physical Therapy help me return to _______?

These questions will help you find a clinic that can provide the level of care and expertise you need for your recovery.

The specific diagnosis and treatment codes are given to you during your evaluation with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. We are unable to provide these codes before your visit because your therapist needs to assess you first to determine which codes apply to your situation. Once you’ve had your evaluation, we’ll provide you with the codes you need to check with your insurance for possible reimbursement.

Our Electronic Medical Record and Payment Processing System require a credit card on file. Due to this, we are PCI Certified meaning we are compliant with The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard which is a set of requirements intended to ensure that all companies that process, store, or process credit card information maintain a secure environment. 

We choose to be out-of-network so we can give you the best, most personalized care possible. Insurance often limits how many visits you can have, how often you can come, and even what kind of treatment you can receive. By staying out-of-network, we can focus entirely on you—your specific needs, goals, and preferences—without any restrictions from insurance companies. When you go in-network, your insurance is ultimately dictating your treatment plan, not your therapist.

Our team of Doctors of Physical Therapy builds your treatment plan based on what we find in your exam, the latest research, and what you want to achieve. This means we can help you with goals that insurance does not cover, like getting back to running, CrossFit, or other activities that are important to you. Our priority is your recovery, on your terms.

Yes! We do accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) cards as forms of payment. We also take all major credit cards, checks, and/or cash payments. 

We are an out-of-network/self-pay provider. This means that payment is made at each visit. We offer individualized packages for a discount and payment plans. Additionally, we provide “superbills” that you may send to your insurance for possible reimbursement through your plan’s out-of-network benefits.

By choosing an out-of-network provider like us, you get the advantage of one-on-one, personalized care for a full hour with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy every time. Unlike insurance-based clinics, where you might be rushed with only 30-45 minutes of care with different therapists or be passed off to technicians, our focused approach often leads to faster recovery. 

In the long run, this may save you money compared to high deductibles, copays, and surprise bills you might face in an insurance-based clinic. We’re here to raise the standard of pelvic health care and make sure you get the best, most effective care possible– where your insurance company is NOT the one making the medical decisions for you and your provider! 

Think about it this way: most people with incontinence spend between $50-$200 every month on pads. That adds up to around $2,400 a year! On average, people wait seven years before seeking help from a pelvic floor therapist. That means spending up to $16,800 on pads alone.

Now, let’s compare that to pelvic floor therapy. An average treatment plan costs between $2,000-$3,000. This investment addresses the root cause of incontinence, rather than just covering up the problem with pads. By choosing therapy, you could actually save $13,800 over time! 

Not only is spending on pads costly, but untreated incontinence is also a leading reason for nursing home admissions due to the burden incontinence can have on families. 

When you break it down, the cost of pelvic floor therapy is similar to other long-term investments, like your monthly gym membership, daily coffee, or occasional massages. It’s even less than a few of those spontaneous Target runs! But unlike those, therapy could change your life!

So, ask yourself: what is it really costing you not to address this issue? Investing in pelvic floor therapy could be one of the best choices you make for your health, well-being, and future.

Read these reviews about our patients’ life changing results: 

Yes, stress can definitely impact your pelvic floor! Studies show that the pelvic floor is one of the first muscle groups to respond to stress, along with the upper traps. When stress causes your pelvic floor to tense up, you might experience symptoms like leakage, pressure, pelvic pain, pain during sex, back or hip pain, or constipation.

That’s why we take a holistic approach in therapy, looking at the stressors in your life. Addressing stress is a key part of your progress and helps ensure the best outcomes for your pelvic health.

Stretching your pelvic floor is similar to stretching any other muscle in your body! Just like you have specific stretches for your hip flexors, there are specific ones for your pelvic floor. 

In addition to stretches, internal manual therapy can help release tight pelvic floor muscles. Just like hands-on therapy for other muscle injuries, pelvic floor therapy can involve internal techniques to lengthen tight muscles and external techniques to address tight hip flexors, glutes, and abdominals. These techniques are gentle and are not like a typical pelvic exam with your gynecologist. 

Your pelvic PT may also recommend therapeutic devices, such as pelvic wands or dilators, to use at home. Learning how to use these tools gives you more control over your progress and helps you feel more independent in your recovery.
